Cam'ron & Dame Dash Sell $450 Jerseys In "Fancy" Commercial (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) Dame Dash and Cam’ron may have just explained why they were trying to sell socks for $150 back in September. The two business moguls appeared in the new commercial for photo-sharing website and app “Fancy” and announced(or maybe joked) about selling $450 jerseys.

Fancy is a website/app which, like Pintrest, allows users to bookmark(called “fancy” on site) images. However, unlike Pinterest, Fancy aims to be a marketplace where users can also purchase

Besides Cam’ron and Dame Dash, Nas has shown his support for the company and even claims it to be “one of my business’s”:

Sheek Louch: Missy Elliott Kept Styles P Off "All About The Benjamins" (VIDEO)

(AllHipHop News) If there is one thing that has remained true about Cipha Sounds’ Take It Personal for over six months is that the hip hop improv show has revealed some of the biggest secrets in Hip Hop history. Last Friday  (November 29th) Sheek Louch revealed why Styles P was left off of the iconic “All About The Benjamins”.

Sheek informed the sold out crowd at the UCB Theatre in Lower East Side that a beat boxing Missy Elliott put together “All About The Benjamins” and thought the verse Styles P had ready for the song was “whack”. Sheek also revealed that due to his “trapping”, he was not able to appear on more iconic songs such as “All About The Benjamins”.

The UCB improvisers took Sheek’s trapping history and put a funny spin on things. Cipha Sounds’ Take It Personal is every Friday at the 153 E 3rd St at 9pm.

RZA Releases New Song "Destiny Bends" Dedicated To Paul Walker

(AllHipHop News) The tragic news of the death of Paul Walker over the weekend has left many of his friends and fans publicly expressing their feelings about the sudden lost of the 40-year-old actor. One of Walker’s admirers is Wu-Tang Clan member RZA. The legendary producer decided to release a demo of the track “Destiny Bends” as a tribute to The Fast and the Furious star.

RZA released the following statement with the song:

This song, entitled “Destiny Bends” was written last night after hearing the tragic news of the loss of a good man named Paul Walker. I met Paul on the set of the film Brick Mansion, where we talked, laughed, and exchanged ideas of life and fatherhood. I only knew him personally for less than a year, but we knew each other through our work and art. We saw in each other a kindred spirit of men coming from unlikely circumstances, and rising to be the light and beacon of our family and loved ones. Men who learned the joy and pains of love in life, and success, while coming to realize that nothing is more important than family, friendship, and the brotherhood of humanity. Millions of people get to know an artist or movie star through their work, but few are allowed to cross each others’ paths and see through the veil of stardom and find the common denominator that we share. As all physical things will decay and wither away, film, art, and music remain longer than the vessel that delivered them. In this vein, the one thing we can’t take away or give back is time. So, thus, time is the most precious gift. I dedicated my time to compose this song with my two sons and new friend Will Wells, who was kind enough to sing and perform it for me. We dedicate it to Paul Walker. A good man. We had plans to continue working with each other in the future. It seemed destined, but “destiny bends”.

*Note* This song is not for criticism, it’s just a sketch demo. Please enjoy and reflect.

Your comrade in the struggle, RZA

Regards,

Fast and Furious co-star Vin Diesel also broke his silence on Walker’s tragic death.

“I will always love you Brian (Walker’s Fast and Furious character’s name), as the brother you were… on and off screen,” Vin said.

Vin also paid his respects to Roger Rodas, the driver of the vehicle.

“Pablo, I wish you could see the world right now… and the profound impact, your full life has had on it, on Us… on me…” Vin continued.

Walker was killed on Saturday afternoon after the Porsche Carrera he was riding in hit a pole. Authorities believe that speed played a factor in the crash. Walker’s F&F co-stars Ludacris, Tyrese, and “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson shared their thoughts on their fallen friend on social media over the weekend.

The nation that President George W. Bush famously named as part of the “Axis of Evil” has routinely detained American citizens in the past. The U.S. government had even issued a travel warning for those planning to go to North Korea just last month.

According to reports the duo was able to successfully film clips inside the Communist country and make it out safely. Pacman and Peso raised over $10,000 on Kickstarter to fund the trek to the capital of Pyongyang. Their video was shot on a karaoke party bus in the city. It is expected to be released next month.

Kanye West Hopes To Release Next Album In Summer 2014

(AllHipHop News) As Kanye West finishes the current tour dates in support of his Yeezus album, the G.O.O.D. Music leader says he has already began working on the follow-up LP and wants it to be out to the public by next summer.

Speaking with Philadelphia’s Power 99 recently, West said:

I haven’t named my next album, but I have started on it. I always write down philosophies all the time, so I’ll just have some thoughts and every time I think of it I write, and I’m just collecting beats, songs. I’m collecting. I’m just constantly working… I’d like to put out more product, I’d like have another album out by next summer.

Ye also comments that G.O.O.D. Music’s Cruel Winter compilation has not been finished because the crew keeps “missing the winter.” He adds Watch The Throne 2 is still a possibility, but he and Jay Z have not started making any songs for it yet.

Yeezus has been arguably Kanye’s most polarizing release. Most music critics have praised the album giving the project an 85 score on Metacritic, but a lot of Hip Hop fans have been critical. Kanye’s next album will be his seventh solo LP.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is This Nas' New Girlfriend?

Some people are whispering. They are saying that Nas has a new girlfriend. At least, it seems that way. Apparently, recently, Nas was one of many stars as a private event with some billionaires. In attendance as well was Russell Simmons, Harvey Weinstein, Spike Lee, and several other notables. But, Nas was apparently there with singer Melanie Fiona. Seems like these two have gotten extremely close and in the gala, they were kissing and hugging. They have taken pictures together in the past but nobody thought anything about it until now.
